The Man Who Died Laughing | Is It Possible To Die Laughing

Laughter is the best medicine, but when a man starts laughing for no apparent reason, then the man needs medicine, it even becomes more bizarre and upsetting when a person dies laughing. Death from laughter is a rare instance, whether one says it is a wonderful way to die, I still think its a better way to dies than dying from an auto accident, or from gun shot or a knife attack, dying from laughter usually results from cardiac arrest or asphyxiation triggered by fits of laughter or from laughing from too long, you better don't start laughing yet, if you think this is funny, because there are over ten registered cases of people who died from laughing.

The most popular case is that of Alex Mitchell from England, the man who was 50 years old at that time in 1975, was a watching an episode of a popular comedy show, THE GOODIES and after 25 minutes of continuous laughter his heart gave up from heart failure, he slumped and died on his seat.

Another case is that of Ole Bentzen, who died in1989, while watching a comedy film A FISH CALLED WANDA, which was a heist-comedy film, continuous laughter led to cardiac arrest that killed him, also in 2003 a Thai ice cream salesman, Damnoen Saen-Um was reported by his wife to have died while laughing in his sleep, it was said that he died after 2 minutes of continuous laughter, heart failure or asphyxiation were the probable cause of death, and peppered through history are the rare and unimaginable cases of people who died as a result of fatal hilarity.

laughter is definitely the best medicine but like every medicine, an overdose can be very fatal, the truth is the registered cases of people who died from fatal hilarity is not so widespread and another thing is, one cannot necessarily control laughter when one has started laughing, its easier to keep yourself from laughing than to stop yourself from laughing when you already started and with so many funny jokes going around the internet, especially akpors jokes, so the next time you find yourself laughing continuously and uncontrollably for a prolonged period of time, you might want to find someone to slap the laughter out of you (just kidding) and be careful not to tickle your ticklish sweetheart or kids to an uncontrollable fit of laughter, because the last you want to do is murder someone with laughter and while you are laughing at how funny this gist is, hit the share button and let your friends know, how possible it is for a person to die from laughing, may you always have reason to laugh.
